SUMMARY:Water Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Robert Mace of Texas State University for a discussion on freshwater scarcity. Growing populations\, the ever-present threat of drought\, aquifer over-pumping\, reservoir sedimentation\, and climate change are creating a perfect storm to challenge the resiliency of our water supplies. Since water is needed for human health\, agriculture\, industry\, energy\, recreation\, and the environment and it takes decades to develop new water supplies\, it’s critical for societies to carefully plan for today’s and tomorrow’s water. We all play a role here\, whether through giving decisionmakers courage to plan for the future\, supporting the development of new water supplies\, and using water as efficiently as possible in our daily lives. Time for interactive discussion will be provided after his talk. \n

SUMMARY:Plastic Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Hyun-Min Hwang of Texas Southern University as he examines the issue of plastic pollution.    Plastic is a polymeric material\, not biodegradable\, and may last hundreds of years in the environment. Substantial fractions of plastic waste are disposed of improperly\, and are found everywhere\, even in the middle of the ocean and deep-sea floor.  Small plastics\, known as microplastics\, accumulate inside of animal bodies and pass through food chains. Some plastics contain harmful chemicals added intentionally during manufacturing processes. These chemicals leached from plastics can cause toxic impacts on humans and wildlife. Plastic production is fast-increasing\, so the amount of plastic waste in the environment will also continuously increase unless we change the way we live with plastics. There are easy-to-follow practices we can apply to everyday life to help protect\, preserve\, and sustain natural resources. The future is up to us. Join Professor Hwang to consider how we can make the earth a better place to live for ourselves\, future generations\, and wildlife as well. Time for interactive discussion will be provided after his talk.
